According to Berlin police, increased proportion of people with a migrant background at Berlin Police Academy has no influence on behaviour of police students. This is results of an internal investigation report, which is available online. In this, police have fixed structural problems after a reform of education and individual misconduct of pupils. However, authors did not find any indications of general problems with trainees with a migration background or even an undermigration by criminal large families.
At beginning of November, Berliner Zeitung had reported a voice message from a lecturer, in which he complained about behaving of a training class – especially immigrant student. The newspaper also reported an open letter from a police officer who claimed that Berlin police were being infiltrated by criminal Arab large families. The regional chairman of German police union, Bodo Palatine, also spoke of "clear reference" to such an undermigration in ZDF. Berlin's interior Senator Andreas Hostage (SPD) had requested analysis.
According to study report, students at academy opposed se presentations. There are "serious infringements in individual cases". But y always gave it. According to trainers, ir number has risen in proportion to number of trainees. Representatives of police students who were also consulted for investigation came to similar assessments.
Neir pupils nor teachers wanted to establish a link between problematic behaviour of trainees and increased proportion of immigrant pupils. Reports of separate swim times for Muslim police students in class are wrong. The authors of investigation also found no evidence of alleged undermigration by criminal clans. Police President Klaus Kandt and Interior Senator hostage had already ruled out.
"The need for reform is obvious"However, report also shows shortcomings at academy. In this way, trainers would have feeling that today's generations of applicants had "social virtues" missing. Punctuality, politeness, a clear, high-German pronunciation and willingness to exert mselves in recent years have "fallen appreciably".
According to authors of study, pupils and apprentices wanted to spend more time toger. Many people spoke for a kind of "class lesson" in which teachers and students could discuss current problems.
Moreover, since a structural reform of Police Academy between 2003 and 2006, construction of police school has "no unified order". Much more he was result of many different structural changes over past years. "A stringent logic is not recognizable," authors find. "The need for reform is obvious."
